northern virginia wedding vendors

Getting our inspiration on a little early this week with a beautifully styled fall wedding shoot from Jalapeno Photography & a ton of Northern Virginia wedding vendors [submitted via Two Bright Lights]! The team of vendors got together at Ekster Antiques – a dreamy barn venue in Virginia with French inspired, rustic & elegant treasure!

The backdrop for our shoot, Ekster Antiques, used to operate storefronts in the Northern Virginia and Maryland antiques’ districts, but Caroline Verschoor with Ekster Antiques got away from the restrictions of operating a shop on Main Street when she began selling her Frenchy-chic antiques quarterly out of her barns in Hamilton, VA.

Ekster Antiques’ barns are a dream location for any couple. The barns are a perfect mix of rustic, mercury glass-bling, and high style.

Amanda with Anthomanic incorporated beautiful and in-season flowers, which was the perfect complement to the Frenchy antiques.

The drinks were styled by Lindsay with the Well Fed Hospitality Group. Well Fed is a restaurant consulting upstart for the DC market. The cocktails were a Bulleit Bourbon Sweet Tea Mint Julep and a ginger beer float. Visually beautiful and perfectly refreshing.

The hair and makeup were spot-on and done by Make UP by Tiffany M. Tiffany ensured that the makeup and hair appeared fresh and clean, and then gentle played up the lips and curls to give our bride a little va va voom.
